[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you folks insist on personalizing factual statements about the way the school operates, insistently interpreting them as whining on the part of parents whose ms kids must be academic stragglers at BASIS? It's knee-jerk claptrap.

My oldest happens to be one of the math stars, on track for calc in 9th. Yet I'm not crazy about the way BASIS is run. I'm tired of am often toxic parent culture and dog-eat-dog mentality along with clueless, domineering admins. To my knowledge, we're one of the few families leaving for a private from 8th. We're lucky enough to have the resources to depart on good form. You guys go at altogether the wrong target: fellow parents with legit concerns.[/quote]

Hmm.  As far as I am aware, after 8th this year, the highest scoring 8th grade math kids will be taking AP pre-calc, not calc in 9th grade at Basis next year. My kid is one of them.  So you are making something up (or your kid is not taking math right now with the 8th graders - I guess that is possible though I hadn’t heard of any such kids this year (they didn’t advance kids for this 8th grade cohort during Covid).  I only note this since people make stuff up all the time online to prove their points and at first blush you seem to be one of them.  Enjoy private school!  (And I know most of the kids going to private school next year and none of them would be taking calc so color me suspicious on Your assertions but I admit there might be some outlier kid my kid hasn’t mentioned because that kid isn’t in math club or math class …)[/quote]

That would make sense. "Clueless and domineering", synonymous with "inexperienced and bossy" is so much softer than what I hear from BASIS parents IRL about the school admins, it didn't sound real.[/quote]
